State Senator John Whitmire of Houston is Chairman of the Senate Criminal Justice Committee, which oversees the state's huge prison system, and when he talks, people who run the prisons listen.

Whitmire says it's time to put an end to the practice of giving death-row inmates anything they want to eat for their last meal. "Enough is enough" Whitmire says.
